New YoRK, March ia spe cial session
OF the New York Presbytery of the United
Presby terrain church, in which the State of
New Jersey is included, was commenced
last Tuesday in the Jane street q. P.
Church of New York, and continued until
last evening The chief object of the
meeting was to take action upon the case
Of Rev. J. 9. M 'ckay, who had been sus-
pended from the pastorate of the Jane
street church on charges of adultery and
drunkenness, and the result of the session
was the adoption of the following resoIu-
iion:
Resolued. That in the judgment of this
Presoytery the Rev. j. G. Mackay, in view
of the sin of which he is guilty, ought to be
deposed from the ministry, and that the
Judgment of the Synod be asked in refer
ence to that matter before we take fnal ac-
ton in the case.
Mr.. Mackay accepted the call to tke Jane
Street Church lew years ago. He had
previously occupied pulpit in Boston and
was induced by Rev A. Biddle, pastor of
the Summit Avenue Q P. Church, of this
CITY, who was warm personal friend of
Mr. Mackay. to accept the passionate of the

dence in Mohawk, N. Y, III the hope OF re-

THE SEA WALL BILL.
It's at Oyster Reef That the Proposed
Liquidation IL Aimed.

The "Sea Wall" Bill, introduced by SEN
ator Chsss that has passed the Senate, has
evoked an unusual amount of discussion in
Safe circles. It foreshadows g scheme of
great importan 10, and reporter of the
SUNDAY MORNING News has been at some
pains to learn just what the bill is aimed
at. For this purpose he interviewed gen.
.lemen who were in position to know.
Some preliminary explanations may be
needed to make its purposes plain. The
bill provides that the State Riparian Com
missioners may for satisfactory consider
alton, permit citizens of New Jersey car
rying on transportation in the Bay, to drive
poles on the reefs and fats lying between
Robins Reef and Bedloe's Island, to make
sea fence. and to lease the right to have
exclusive use OF the said sea fence, with a
proviso that such sea fence shall not be
nearer to Bedioes Island than 1900 feet,
nor nearer to Robins Rect Light House
than 5000 feet: that the easterly or
seward line thereof shall not be further
than 500 feet westerly from the deep
Channel of the Bay, and that the SEA
fence shall be cply COO feet long, north
an1 south, nor extend more than ], 900 feet
Seaward. Bedloes Island is just off the
Communipaw shore. Robins Reef is
IL, 500 feet southwark along the coast.
Between Bedloes and Robins Reef is
little reef known as Oyster Reef, 1t
is about 2 900 feet south of Bedloes Island
and $500 feet north of R bins Reef; and
it is here that The proposed sea-wall il
evidently to be built under the chase bill,
It is claimed that Bedlnes Island and the
two reefs are part of the New jersey State
ripa. The Riparian Commissioners have
fixed the exterior pier line abont 5000 feet
out from the shore. Oyster Reef is 1906
feet further sea-ward than the States
Exterior pier line. The edge of the Jersey
Flats is further award than either
Oyster or Robins Reef or thsn Bedloes
Island--lhat is. al there are within the
line of the flats. Beyond that line is the
main channel of the Bay.
Some time ago party of New York
spectators attempted to secure water
rights from the State, along the shore, on
the Jersey Flats. Their idea was
to dig out channel between
the Reefs and the main land, and
build on the reefs between this arti-
fetal channel and the main channel of the
Bay long line of warehouses. Mr. Chase's
''Sea Wall : hill will devote but a small
section of the reef to such purpose, but
it is believed to be the entering wedge to
that project.
Among those who are acquainted with
the subject it is regarded as a serious ques-
ton whether anything can be built on the
Jersey Flats without the consent of the
owners of the adjacent water rights. The
Riparian Commissioners have sold, or
hold for sale, the water rights to the exte-
rior pier line; and it is doubtful if the
State has the legal right to permit any one
to put up any buildings in front of it.

ed into Judge Weeds Office about 6 o'clock
last eyeaing and esAnplalned that his vie,
Mary, was an habitual drunkard. He said
ne had married her about year ago and
had since that time lived at No. 46 Railroad

gone to housekeeping he claims that Mary
commenced to drink rum aud pawn his
clothes. He succeeded in breaking her of
it half dozen times, but never for longer
than month. About week ago she
broke out the last time, and since then she
has made his life miserable. While he has
been at work she has been stealing his
clothing and pawning them in pawn shop
on Grove street. Last night when he came
home he found Mary out, and his new hat,
his new suit of clothes, and pair of boots
missing. Naturally he was mad, and start
ed Immediately in search of her. At the
corner of Grove and Eighth street he found
her sitting on a keg of beer, full as goat
and fondling mass of pawn tickets in her
lap. He slipped up quietly and succeeded
in sDat hing arly all of them from her
before she could object But when she did
commence to object, it was with will.
and he found himself lying IN the gut
ter, with Mary dancing q war dance
on his body. He managed to es-
cape after a struggle, and made
his way to the Justices Office. A
warrant was ISIS led and given to the Irish
detective who searched until eight o'clock
for her. at last finding her hidden under
the bed in the room of Antonio Kegov-
hiskie on Railroad avenue. Antonio was
in the room, both he and the lady being
dressed decollette. At the Judges Office
she admitted the main facts to be true and
the JRdge ordered her to be searched.
Seventy-fve pawn tickets were found in
her dress pocket, which with the twenty
that her husband had taken from her,
made ninety-five, all representing various
articles of clothing and household goods
which she had stolen from her home. In
default of bail she was ''pswned" in the
city prison to sober up and appear in a
respectable condition before the Court on
Monday.

it will he costly one too. 1t is proposed
to spend at least million dollars; and 1t
is likely that good deal more will be
spent. All this money is to be paid out
on the certificate of the Chief Engineer

seen to be of vital importance that the
Chief Engineer should be man of the

of the city was candidates for this import

threw them all aside and elected an indi-
vldud named McGauran, of whom no one
knows anything. News reporters sent to

his father used to be a potter in this city,
and that his mother still owns some pro-
